Mississauga's Square One revealed its south expansion yesterday, which is anchored by flagship Holt Renfrew and Harry Rosen stores. The expansion features dramatic high ceilings and a number of retailers previously unavailable in Mississauga.

According to mall General Manager Greg Taylor, the mall's landlords (Oxford Property Group/AIMCo) have spent $480 million since 2013 to revamp and expand the centre, primarily between the new La Maison Simons at the north end (Opening March 17) and the new south expansion. Mr. Taylor also revealed that in January of this year, the mall reached a milestone with sales of $1,002 per square foot, making it Canada's 10th most productive shopping centre.

The mall's high ceilings and ample windows (including the grand rotunda) highlight Mississauga's dynamic, changing downtown, according to Mr. Taylor. The city's skyline, Living Arts Centre and Art Gallery of Mississauga are all visibly nearby, creating a sense of proximity and community.

Mr. Taylor discussed the mall's updated 863-space climate-controlled underground parking component, which includes bay-by-bay space availability indicators. Square One has also introduced valet parking to the south wing, which is the second valet parking component to the centre. The valet service conveniently allows vehicle drop off and pick up from alternate valet locations.

Mr. Taylor also revealed that a further five or six retailers will soon be revealed for the new south expansion. Longer-term, Oxford Properties will continue to redevelop the centre, including the mall's former Target store space, with details to follow.
